Created July 1995, last modified 12 October 2014 These pages contain email I've
received from various Wilmots around the world. Many of these people are doing genealogical
research. Others just happened to be called Wilmot and are interested in the fact that there are
other Wilmots around, as it's a somewhat unusual name. This page is
mostly concerned with people whose Last Name (surname) is
Wilmot, but several people with First Name Wilmot have
written in. There is also a short section on variants on the name Wilmot on the Wilmot Lore page, so if your name is Wilmott, Willmott
or Willmounth you might find something there. Amazingly, I have never heard of anyone whose real
name is "Wilmont" with an 'n'. Wilmots in Ecuador Im Thomas Wilmot, and lived in Guayaquil, Ecuador. My father is Juan
Wilmot and he establised in Huigra, a small city in the ecuadorian
highlands, he worked as a telegrapher in ecuadorian railroads during
1942. His father was John Wilmot, a jamaican guy. I will liked to find
people with my lastname in others parts of the world. Keep in touch, my email is email@example.com Thomas Wilmot (9 October 2014) Rathdrum/Ballinderry, Wicklow Wilmots I posted in 2011 re the above branch of the family (see Ballinderry/Rathdrum Wilmots below). 2 Wilmots married

Byrne (10 August 2014) Wilmot/Willmott Interbreeding Thought this might be of interest as a random story. I am Caroline
Wilmot (spelt the proper way) and my ex boyfriend (father of my
daughter) is Adam Willmott (the greedy way). Our four year old daughter
is Maisie Willmott. The confusion this causes is hilarious, particularly
when registering her with a gp for example. Wilmots of Honesdale, Pennsylvania, USA, 1852 I have been researching my family history and for the last 20 years my
Wilmot branch has stumped me! I know that my grandmother, Ida A. Wilmot
was born in Honesdale PA in 1852. I cannot find her father anywhere.
Her mother, Martha Wilmot age 24 is seen living with the Gaylord family
in the 1850 census. Her grandmother, Betsy Wilmot is seen the the 1850
census with a boy child of 11 years old listed as L.B. Wilmot and Milo
Gaylord 19 years old. In the 1870 census Betsy, Martha and Ida are
living together in Honesdale with a Jane Hunter age 9. No male Wilmots
anywhere to be found. Betsey Wilmot goes on to live with Martha and Ida
well into old age then until her death. I can't figure out if Martha is
actually Betsey's daughter and she never married and had Ida or if
Martha is Betsy's Mother in law. Anyway...if you have any connections to
this family please let me know at firstname.lastname@example.com (Candace Phillips, 2 August 2014) James Wilmot 1623-1682, Oxfordshire England Good Morning Wilmots of England, Australia, Canada and the Eardley connection I am a Wilmot originally from the North of England. My grandfather had
13 brothers and one sister. One of his brothers emigrated to Australia,
and at least one to Canada. Most of the boys had a Latin name as well
as their English name - my grandfather was Joseph Septimus Wilmot, I
see at least one of the Wilmots on your page have the name Eardley -
that, I was always told, is a "family" name. Scott Coates is also a
"family" name, and my father wrote several books about tennis under that
name. I now live in Canada (Ann Thompson, email@example.com, 24 June 2014) Wilmots of Texas I'm the grandson of Teresa Wilmot Quiroz
She passed away a few years ago. I was always told that our ancestors, originated from England.
My grandmother was from the Hispanic descent, but was very light complected with gray colored eyes.
Her father's name was John Wilmot, she had brothers, John, Luis, George and Joe.
They lived in Violet Texas on some land that was owned by the Wilmot Family.
My grandmother was born on August 09, 1919. Hope this helps. (Abel Guzman, email@example.com, 13 June 2014) Henry James Wilmot All information i have is that Henry James Wilmot from England came

Charles Henry Montague Smith. His death details give his father as Henry
Wilmot Smith but he appears to have been born and died at the same time
as the man I am looking for, just plain Charles Henry Smith. There is a
possible connection to the Lear family in India.The period I am
interested in is 1852-1884 Madras India. I hope someone this rings a
bell with someone in your list. With thanks, Elizabeth Agnew (email@example.com, 1 April 2014) DNA Analysis Hi all WILMOTs, of whatever spelling and wherever you are ! Looking for the Wilmot connection I am looking for my Wilmot connection. My
mother's first name was Wilmot. (she pronounced it will mutt, but went
by Billie) I believe that the connection is my ggg grandmother but have
no proof. I think my grandfather, James Wilmot Green's grandmother was a
Wilmot. however I can't find proof of his father, James Willow Green,
other than he was married to Eliza Porter Boineau sometime after 1870,
in South Carolina. James Willow Green mother was most likely a Wilmot
(hence my Grandfather's middle name). If you have any sources or
information on this family link I would appreciate the help.
Thanks, Contacting Brenda Wilmot I am the granddaughter of Harold Royce WILMOT B: 1893 - D: 1971

While looking at this site I see there is a Brenda Wilmot (she posted in 2006) who is from the same family.
Twice I have emailed her from this site but had no reply.
I wonder if there is any way of contacting her as I have been researching the family and would love talk with her.

John Richmond Wilmot, the last Earl of Rochester
My grandfather is now 90 years of age. When he was 9, his mother Cecilia Johanna Brazelle married
John Richmond Wilmot who was the last Earl of Rochester. They lived at the family farm in Lorraine,
Port Elizabeth and he was fondly known as "Doodie". He died tragically in about 1973 when he bled
to death after being gored by the prize bull "Kleintjie". I recall his love of flowers and they
used to grow and sell bunches of flowers. Wilmots of Wiltshire, UK Is anyone researching the Wilmot family who originated in Wiltshire, UK that can help me gain

Helena, John Wilmot who married Naomi wellington Daniel and John Wilmot We are two brothers named John and Daniel Wilmot. We were both born in Kingston
Hill, Northern Surrey, Daniel-1952, John-1951. At about 5 or 6 years old, our mother left the
family, never to come back. Shortly after this our father died in a struggle with an intruder at our
residence. To make a long story short, after our father's sudden demise we were placed in an
orphanage, and a year or two later adopted by an american couple. Details of our family's (Wilmot) past
were actually kept from us as we were growing up with our adoptive family. For many years we have
wanted to research this situation, but have not gotten very far. We would appreciate it if anybody
has come across any reference, or information that might reflect on our Wilmot search to drop us a

ten children who were brought up in Bandon Co. Cork. My parents were Elizabeth & Robert Wilmot.
Two of my brothers came over to England, and one returned to Bandon when he and his wife retired.
The rest remained in Bandon and reared large families. \when we go back to Bandon we often see
young and middle aged people who have my distinctive very dark hair (now white) dark eyes and long
eyelashes! We know a lot of them are family members known to us, but some are the much younger
generation coming up whom we cannot always name! Our own four children have the same dark colouring
( my poor wife who is/was fair skinned and very English looking maintains that they all look like me
but have her brains!) I understand that my father served in the British Army. People do say that
the town is full of Wilmots, and it certainly feels like that when we go back for weddings etc..

Breton fiddler from Nova Scotia Canada The following is an obituary for Johnny
Wilmot, a Cape Breton Fiddler who died in 1993. The following was written by and is taken from a
newsletter published in 1993 in the Silver Apple News, Cranford Publications, by Paul S. Cranford: -
JOHNNY WILMOT died in April of this year (1993). During our long friendship he introduced me to
dozens of musical people around the Cape Breton countryside. I will never forget his generosity and
inspiration. They say his fiddling used to drive the dancers crazy. He certainly turned my life
around. I remember the first night I met him and his uncle Joe Confiant, at Teddy Snow's place. When
I returned home around midnight, I was so wound up that I stayed up learning tunes till dawn. A
native Cape Bretoner, Johnny was born in 1916. His father was from Mabou and Johnny spent the first
three years of his life there. Afterwards he was brought up with his mother's people, his
grandparents, the family of his uncle Joe Confiant, in Centerville, between North Sydney and Sydney
Mines. Both Johnny and Joe learned some of their music by listening to their uncle, Henry Fortune.
The Fortunes were from Bras d'Or, Cape Breton County. They were accomplished Irish fiddlers who in
Johnny's words played with "long-slurred-bowing" complete with lots of fingered embellishments.
Differing from the Fortunes, Joe added a variety of new types of embellishments to his music, some
of which he likely gleaned from the Cape Breton Scottish traditions and others from the recordings
of Sligo fiddlers. His bowing included effortless bowed cuts (trebles) regardless of direction,
momentum or positioning. His music was lively and yet the tempo wasn't fast. His timing was rock
solid for dancers even when improvising. Although Johnny played Cape Breton Scottish style tunes
with the best of them, most remember him for his Irish music. During the fifties, Johnny Wilmot and
his Irish Serenaders played a regular live radio broadcast from CJCB Sydney ... Irish music with a
Cape Breton swing. His 78 records, made in the same studio, with Tommy Basker and Margaret MacPhee,
all featured Irish tunes, played with his characteristic drive and intensity. During this period he
made three trips to Boston where he played with, and for, some of the legendary figures of Irish
music, including Paddy Cronin and Joe Derrane. Paddy was heard to say that Johnny was the liveliest
Irish jig player he had ever encountered. Musically, Johnny was fluently bilingual. He was one of
the few musicians I ever met who had thoroughly digested both Cape Breton Irish and Cape Breton
Scottish styles. While his own compositions often straddled this Irish-Scottish fence, his settings
of traditional tunes kept the two separate, always displaying personal style without sacrificing the
beauty and integrity of the 'original' melodies. Johnny was exposed to live Irish and Scottish
styles of music from the time he was an infant. Starting in the late 'twenties he began listening to
the Irish 78s of Coleman, Morrison etc. and and later to the Cape Breton 78s of the Inverness
Serenaders. He played most of the 'mainstream repertoire' including the majority of tunes recorded
and played by other Cape Breton fiddlers between 1930-65. Many of these tunes were found in easily
available books such as Cole's One Thousand Fiddle Tunes, J. Scott Skinner's, The Scottish
Violinist, The Scotch Guard and The Skye, O'Neill's and Kerr's Collections. Many of the
'traditional' tunes in his repertoire were Scottish, Irish and Cape Breton composed, some were
'Northside Irish' tunes from his uncles Joe Confiant and Henry Fortune, and some were Inverness
County tunes. He also played a variety of other tune types — French and 'Oldtime' American
tunes, barndances and waltzes — most of which he interpreted in an Irish style. He learned
these tunes from any available source — some from recordings, some from his uncle Joe, and
others from players he associated with while living in Toronto (1959-75). Throughout his life Johnny
always shared his musical experience with younger musicians. His repertoire has been passed directly
(to friends) and indirectly (through recordings) to dozens of receptive musicians including myself
and many others ... Bobby and Brenda Stubbert, Doug MacPhee,Tommy Basker, Paul Wukitsch, Eddie
Poirier, Otis Tomas, Kim Vincent, Jerry Holland, Arthur Muise, Larry Parks and Joe Peter MacLean.

Thanks (firstname.lastname@example.com, 27 February 2012)Mary Wilmot and the wreck of the Grosvenor, 1782
I've established the sinking of the Grosvenor to be a well documented historical fact, as well as
the fact that there were indeed survivors and that some of these survivors had indeed gone on to
live with the local tribe in the area. Here's a list of some of my reference books:
1. A source book on the wreck of the Grosvenor East Indiaman by Percival Robson Kirby which I
believe has a passenger list;
2. Caliban's Shore: The wreck of the Grosvenor and the strange fate of
her survivors by Stephen Taylor; and
3. The Sunburn't Queen by Hazel Crampton (Non-fiction) which
specifically delves into Mary Wilmot's fate, as well as the fact that she went on to marry a
run-away slave from Bangladesh by the name of Damoyi, from whom I derive my last name.
It is said that on learning of the sinking of the Grosvenor, the British government of the
time had ordered a recovery mission of the surviving passengers but that only 18 of the survivors
were found and later repatriated to England. There is also a fictionalised account of Mary Wilmot's
story in a children's book called, The Mission, written by a Captain Frederick Marryatt in 1845. In
the story, Mary is referred to as Elisabeth and is said to be the daughter of a Sir Charles Wilmot.
I'm trying to find the missing pieces of this puzzles so that it can finally be put together -
albeit 229 years later - and was wondering if either you or any of the other Wilmot's on your
website have any information that could be of help to me.
My sister and I now live in Toronto, Canada, and would really love to hear back from anyone who can
be of help.
I've found record of a baptism of a "Mary Wilmot, daughter of Matthew Wilmot, the painter
(artist)" in Calcutta, India, April 1775; which leads me to believe that Mary Wilmot was born in
Calcutta in 1775. This correlates with her being aged 7 at the time of the Grosvenor shipwreck in
1782. There are however, no further records (marriages, further baptisms or deaths records) for
Matthew Wilmot in Calcutta beyond 1775; which seems to indicate that he probably left Calcutta at
some point in time.
There is apparently a Royal Coat of Arms still in existence in St Peter Parish in Shaftesbury,
Dorset, England, painted and signed by an M Wilmot dated 1780 - 2 years prior to the sinking of the
Grosvenor. Which implies that Matthew Wilmot may have indeed left Calcutta for England prior to 1780
and that Mary Wilmot had stayed behind in Calcutta until 1782 when she too was to have made her way
to England on the Grosvenor (probably to begin her schooling in England as was apparently the norm
for 7 year old's at the time).
There is also record of another Royal Coat of Arms dated 1816, said to have been at Ashmore, Dorset,
painted and signed by a "K Wilmot" who it is said may have been the son of Matthew Wilmot.
I've found no further records (marriage or death) for Matthew Wilmot in any of the Parishes in
Shaftesbury and am inclined to think that he may have moved on from there too ... where from and
where to, I have no idea at the moment.
I'd really like to hear from any Wilmots who are descendants of Matthew Wilmot, who lived in the
1700's - he was a painter and possibly the father of a K Wilmot too (also a painter).

I would dearly love to find and even though I have names for through my grandfathers tree that he
made back in 1964 is that of the Wilmot's, Sarah being a member. Sarah was born about 1814 and died
1867 according to my Grandfathers Tree, on it he has the names of other family members those being
Lt T Wilmot born 1811 and died 1832 in India, Betsey who I have got down as Elizabeth but of course
this could be wrong, but also the name given could be a use name, no date of birth given. Henry and
Edward both without dates of birth and of course no place of birth.I have done a bit of checking on
Ancestry but have not come up with anything new on the family.We could be looking in the wrong place
as my cousin feels we are, due to Halstock as a place of birth Halstock being in Bradford Forum but
I just do not know, when Sarah married Thomas Pope in 1840 her father was in attendance his name
being Samuel Wilmot, (this is not given in the tree of my Grandfather but even with this I still have
not found a link to any family. You would suppose Lt. T Wilmot may be the easiest to sort out but I
have not found any records on him, although I could be using the wrong name, I substituted Thomas
instead of T. can you think of any other methods of finding this info out. I have put messages on
Curious Fox, Genes, and of course used Ancestry to try to connect but nothing. I think it would be
easier to be on the ground so to speak. I also wish someone in the family extended or otherwise
could have questioned family members on this while there was still time but of course this is now
impossible any other angles could be helpful. (Michael Pope reseaching the Pope family of Toller Dorset,

My name is Fernando Villaamil and I served in Vietnam in 1969-1970 with the 82nd Airborne Division

to him once again. If you know of him I would appreciate it if you let him know that I am searching

Hi just found your site when browsing. My name is Padraig Wilmot and I live in Sixmilebridge, which
is in County Clare, Southern Ireland. I have four sisters and two brothers and I also have two
children Jessica and Keith. My father Joe was an only child and he was from County Limerick. As far
as I know there are very few Wilmot's in Ireland and most of them are in County Limerick. Have only
ever met one or two other people with the Wilmot surname and I am quite proud of my name and it
would be nice to keep in contact with others. (Padraig Wilmot, firstname.lastname@example.com, 6 May 2010)

Hi! Susan here in Ontario, Canada. We have a Wilmot connection, though it goes back a couple of
generations. My husband, Paul Boon, is descended from the Wilmot line through his paternal
grandmother, Alice Wilmot. Alice was born in Lemsford, Herts. in 1897, and I can go back three more
generations in Hertfordshire. Unfortunately, Alice died the day after my father-in-law was born,
though not from childbirth. She died in the influenza epidemic, so he never got to know her. If
anyone else has connections to the Hertfordshire Wilmots, I would be thrilled to hear from them. my
email is email@example.com (Susan Boon, 18 April 2010)

My great grandmother was called Lily Wilmot, born in 1880. She married Oliver Albert Bubb and they
had two children, a daughter (?name), who died young, and a son, Sydney James Bubb, my grandfather.
Lily lived in Normanton, West Yorkshire. My grandmother tells me that Lily was a miliner and that
she thinks her family originally came from the Nottingham area. Lily had two brothers, Fred and
Graeme (?spelling, could be Graham). Fred lived on the Castleford Road, but I do not know anything
more about him. Graeme apparently left Yorkshire for America to become a cowboy, possibly around the
turn of the century. Graeme was supposed to be leaving England on the Titanic ship, but for some
reason he changed ships at the last minute. All my Grandmother knows is that she thinks he had a
ranch, but I've no idea where in the USA. I'd love to find out what happened to him. Does anybody
out there know? (Samantha Bubb, firstname.lastname@example.com, 31 January 2010)

I come from an old CT family named Wilmot, located mainly in Naugatuck, CT. My great-grandfather
was named Noyes Salvador Wilmot. He fought in the Civil War, with the 34th Volunteers, I believe.
He also worked as a superintendent in the Eastern Malleable Iron Co., then retired to manage farms
- his real dream. I would love to know how a name such as "Salvador" got deposited in an otherwise
anglo-saxon name! (Penelope Wilmot Whiteside, firstname.lastname@example.com, 22 November 2009)

Hello, Wilmots--My great, great grandmother was Harriett
Wilmot born in NY in 1818 and died in Brooklyn, NY in March 1886. Harriett married Henry Moore, son
of William. She had a sister named Emeline (1815-1869) and we're not sure if she had another sister
named Gertrude. Harriett's father (or uncle) was John Wilmot who was born in NY about 1780. He was
a veteran of the War of 1812 and died in March of 1861 in NYC. Does anyone have any definitive info
on John Wilmot, his origins, or know who his wife was? Thank you, Wilmots!!! (Thomas Moore, 26

My name is Angel Riojas and my great father
was Sam Wilmot. He was originally supposed to be Sam Cody but was adopted by the Wilmot family
while his identical twin stayed with their mother as Benito Lucio. I have many names, ss #'s. dod's
and bod's for bothe Cody's and Wilmots, yet I still have not found the connection between the two
families besides the adoption. I am trying to find out as much as I can about the Wilmots like I am
the Codys and so far it seems all have is both come from England, are Spanish-Irish and have royal
lineage. There is one Lucio who changed his name to Cody and who's son resides on San Antonio, TX.
I have tried contacting him but he refuses to speak to me or anyone in my family. We are only
trying to find the connection between the two families and answers as to why only my grandfather,
not his brother, was given up for adoption and why its such a secret. If anyone has any info that
might help I would really appreciate it. You can email me at firstname.lastname@example.com. (16 June 2006)

Can you tell me Grace's maiden name, her family, where she was born
etc? I am at a dead end researching my maternal grandmother's background. She was Helen
Cordelia Burt, Johnson, Wallen (or so we think). My mother was her first child born 1905
in Wood County, TX.
In 1933 she lived with James W. Wallen, and two young sons
in Dora, Roosevelt, NM. She took her two sons and left Wallen for a month. Her one
living son, Calvin L. Wallen, Indian Wells, CA, remembers they stayed the month with a nice couple
in Roswell, who lived in a nice three bedroom house in a good section of town . . . and they ran a
hardware store.
Unfortunately that was 70 years ago and he doesn't remember their
names and has no knowledge of his mother's background. Apparently she was estranged from her
family and was secretive. According to 1930 Chaves county census Grace Wilmot was the right age to
be Helen's older sister, they ran a hardware store and Helen named her last child "Grace".

It's nice to see a page dedicated to the Wilmots'. I was
born Herbert Paul Wilmot Jr.. Then I was adopted and my name changed to Herbert Paul Schleicher and
then when I was in my mid-20's I changed it to Paul William Jones (I was doing acting and
stand-up at the time). I have two brothers, Harold and Chuck and two sisters Kelly and
Marcia. I was older when I was adopted so I have some contact with them. My
biological father lives in California, while the rest live in New Hampshire in the Manchester,
Nashua area, along with various aunts, uncles, cousins, etc. I currently reside in Colorado. I
have in my possession a link (gotta find it) of a genealogy report dating back to the mid to late
1600's that traces the Wilmot name not only from England but their connection with starting New
Haven, Conn.
I would like to share this info with other if they so

While my surname isn't Wilmot, I do have a Wilmot connection in my family
My 6th Great Grand mother on my maternal side was an Elizabeth Wilmot b. abt 1721 Eyethorne, Kent,
England. She married a John Finnis in 1779 Eyethorne, Kent, England. My research leads me to believe
Elizabeths parents were Samuel Wilmott b. abt 1695 Ewell, Kent and Mary Terry b. abt 1799
Northbourne, Kent, England. This latter information has yet to be confirmed. Elizabeth had 6
children with one retaining the Wilmot name in Wilmot Finnis b. 1756 Deal, Kent, England. He married
a Susanna Brice. They in turn had 14 children and once again the Wilmot name was retained by Wilmot
Finnis b 1782 Deal, Kent, England. If any one has any information on my connection I'd enjoy

wondering if Ben in Indiana is the son of my cousin Ben from KY? Mother was from Stanford,
KY. One of nine children. Her father raised tobacco. And she had a Thoroughbred

children, Betty, Millie(me) and Kenneth. Now my name is Pacunski. My "cousin"
has two sons, James O. and John D. Other family info is interesting if not too complete.
Does the name "Capt. Thomas Austin Wilmot", (possibly from Battle Creek County and of

Scott A. Wilmot (email@example.com, 31 October 2003)
Alexander Wilmot
My name is Alex Paul and my
great grandfather was Alexander Wilmot. He was born in Edinburgh in 1836 the son of Alexander Wilmot
and Caroline Kennedy. She was born in Dublin in 1815 and is said to have been previously married to
a James Currie, who died and left her a widow.
There is no trace in the Scottish archives of
Alexander Wilmot's birth, nor of that of his sister Caroline Louisa who was born about 1838;
but strangely enough in that year there is a record in the Catholic archives of the baptism of
a Caroline Louisa daughter of Caroline Kennedy and John Muir. Whether these two people are identical
who knows? but there has always been some mystery about Alexander Wilmot's true origins which has
never been solved and about which he was uncommunicative.
The first appearance of the Wilmots in
official records is the 1851 census when Caroline Wilmot, described as a widow and annuitant was
living with her son Alexander (14) and daughter Caroline (12) at 4, Houston St Glasgow. Alexander is
described as being an apprentice to a lawyer ---possibly William Shand----- while Caroline was a
"scholar at home". Also in the household were Marianne Kennedy, aunt and governess, Rachel
Cowan, also from Ireland and described as a gentlewoman and boarder and Robert Stewart, lodger
and draper from Roxburgh.
From 1852 to 1853 Alexander Wilmot attended classes at Glasgow
University in the Arts faculty under Professor Robert Buchanan. There is no matriculation record for
him, which indicates that he did not graduate. At that time one had to pay in order to graduate. Due
to the expense many students did not matriculate, but after a period of study obtained a certificate
from their professor. There is evidence that Alexander obtained this type of certificate.
1853 Caroline Wilmot and her two children emigrated to South Africa.The reasons for this move are
not clear. Family tradition has it that, being Catholics Caroline and her children were an
embarrassment to her late husband's well connected family who apparently were not Catholic. There
may also have been questions of inheritance involved. As the story goes, the three Wilmots were
given a "substantial sum of money" and told to "get lost". I have never found
any evidence to support this story, but it does seem that in view of his absences from work and
travels in later life Alexander may have had some sort of private income, and one must suppose that
his mother's annuity, the source of which is unknown, continued as long as she was alive.
arrival in Cape Town Alexander found employment in the offices of John and Henry Reid, lawyers
of presumably Scottish origin and to whom he may well have been given an introduction by the
Glasgow lawyer with whom he had served an apprenticeship. In July 1854 Alexander applied for a
job in the Civil Government of Cape Colony and later took the necessary exam and passed out top. In
his letter of application he mentions a certificate of character and respectability given by "a
professional gentleman to whom I was apprenticed" and also a similar certificate from John and
Henry Reid.Unfortunately these certificates, which might have thrown additional light on Alexander
Wilmot's background, have not survived.
After passing the Civil Service exam Alexander went to
work in the Post Office and in 1859 was appointed Postmaster at Port Elizabeth where he was also
made Justice of the Peace at the early age of 26. He remained in that position until his
retirement in 1886.
In 1860 Alexander married Alice Mary Slater the daughter of Edward Slater,
one of the 1820 settlers who had come over on the "Aurora" as a boy of 4 with his
parents Thomas and Maria. Ten of the eleven Slater children came to South Africa, though not
all of them at the same time as their parents. The Slaters appear to have come from London. Thomas's
father was King's Messenger Matthew Slater and his mother Elizabeth Twelves (or Douze) . There were
13 children of their marriage.
In 1862 Alexander took a year's leave of absence and returned to
Scotland where he lived at 1 Eldon Place, Glasgow. It was there that his first child Albaeus, named
after an early Irish saint, was born. During this time Alexander studied law at Edinburgh University
and was awarded the distinction of being nominated as a "Prizeman".
The Wilmots went
on to have no fewer than 16 children of which 14 survived infancy. Most were born in South Africa,
but one, George, was born in Dublin.
Alexander Wilmot's career in South Africa is well documented
in the Dictionary of South African Biography. There is also reference to his various literary works
in the British Library Catalogue. Other documents can be found in the Cape Town archives and there
is material in the Vatican relating to his appointments as Papal Chamberlain, Knight of St Gregory
and Papal Count.
After his retirement from the Post Office Alexander became a member of the South
African parliament and a supporter of Cecil Rhodes. He died in Cape Town in April 1923 having been
predeceased by his wife a year earlier.
Alexander's mother Caroline died in Grahamstown in 1878.
Her only property was a half share with her son of a cottage in Uitenhage.
His sister Caroline
Louisa married Charles Wemyss Pearson a customs official at Port Elizabeth.They had 8
children: 7 daughters and one son, several of whom predeceased their parents. The date of
Caroline Louisa's death is not known, but her husband died after her in 1929 at the age of
Regarding Alexander's origins, these remain obscure. It is not certain that his surname was
originally Wilmot, which is not a typically Scottish name. My great aunts liked to think that he
might have been related to the Dukes of Argyll, but the chronology is all wrong. One thing that is
certain is that he could not be related to the Earl of Rochester since when John Wilmot
courtier, poet and libertine died, he was the last of his line. The Earldom was subsequently revived
twice, I think, but each time for a different family.
Finally, if there are any Wilmots or
Pearsons out there who wuold like more information from me about Alexander Wilmot or could
provide me with information, my e-mail adress is firstname.lastname@example.com.
Alexander Wilmot (8 October 2003)
great-great grandfather was Richard Wilmot. He was born in Roxbury Township, Morris County, New
Jersey on June 11, 1791 and died in Allegheny Township, Westmoreland, Pennsylvania. on January 26,
1866. He was buried on the Owen's family farm. His second wife was Margaret Andres or
Whittlinger. I believe his father was named Amos Wilmot. I would like to hear from
anyone who believes they are related. My e-mail is firstname.lastname@example.com (5 October 2003)
Wilmot about 1885.
It is our understanding that we are only the third owners; DP Wilmot, his
Margaret Williams Gargan, and then us. We have lived in the home since
1975 and have been renovating and
restoring it continuously. We take great pride in its
appearance and in its antiquity. The home was a typical Illinois,
white Victorian with
green trim. We have changed the colors to foam with Russian blue gables and trim and added
a two car garage and wrap around porch with 130 spindles and overhead corner brackets.
Throughout the renovation
we have maintained the original architectural style
found an oval framed picture of DP in the attic. We kept a copy and donated the
original picture and frame
to the local historical society. DP Wilmot was one of the
early settlers in this area and he is actually
credited with naming the town of Evergreen.
He owned a large estate and donated land for the Wilmot Elementary
School which is
located just across the street from the home.
A few years ago, Wilmot
Elementary was contacted by a Wilmot Elementary School
in Deerfield, Illinois. It is
common knowledge that our home is the old Wilmot estate, so we were
asked by the Principal
if we knew of any connection. We provided both Wilmot Elementary Schools with
genealogy of the family which we were able to turn up. This connection to Illinois is
supported by the style of
the home. It was learned that Wilmot Elementary in Deerfield was
built on land donated by DPs mother.
The name Wilmot is held in high
regard in this area, although there are no known descendants living here.
would be a pleasure to correspond with any Wilmots who might have an
interest in this corner of
the Wilmot world.

About 20 years ago when living in Ft
Lauderdale Florida,I met a Jamaican lady,
she knocked on my door Because of the Wilmot name,She
told me that there was a large number of Wilmots in Jamaica,her husband was one.She then told me
that his great grandfather was a white Englishman.
I have been trying to trace my family tree
and have found that my great grandfather left my great grandmother and her children and went of to
seek his fortune.
Could this be the same man.? My grandfather was born in 1886,I do not know
just when his father left.
If anyone has any knowledge of John Wilmot ,or how I can get
Immigration or Census info for 188?.Please e-mail me.
My name is David Wilmot, e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com
Many thanks I will be back

just found the web site and i am amazed. i knew a
little of the history of the name astounded by the fact that geographically we are all over the
world. let us unite and conquer.
Wilmots of Chaddesden
My name is Arthur William Frederick Sacheverel PULFORD, and I am descended
from the Wilmots of Chaddesden. My mother, Ada Snowdrop Wilmot, (born in 1907), was the daughter and
eldest child of Sir Ralph Henry Sacheverel Wilmot, 6th Baronet.
The name of Wylimot,
or Wilmot is very ancient in England. Wilmot was a nobleman of Sussex in the time of King Ethelred.
The family settled in Nottinghamshire, before it moved into the county of Derbyshire in
1529, where it flourished.
The line of The Wilmots of Chaddesden can be found
in both Burkes Peerage and Debretts, copies of which should be available in reference
libraries throughout the Western World.

discovered the small town of Wilmot in Tasmania, and also established that the one time
Governor of Tasmania, Sir John Eardly-Wilmot was descended from the Wilmots of Chaddesden.
I visited New Zealand in 2003 and discovered Mount Wilmot, The Wilmot Pass and
Lake Wilmot. Although I did not actually visit the Fiordland National Park and Milford
Sound, I found the following reference in the Queenstown Public Library:-
Mount Wilmot: Wilmot Pass: Fiordland National Park, between Lake Manapouri and
Deep Cove. Named after the surveyor-general, E.H. Wilmot, who undertook a considerable amount of
survey work in this area. he discovered a route from Lake Manapouri to Doubtful Sound/Patea. Lake
Wilmot is also named after him.
Is E.H. Wilmot connected with the Wilmots
of Chadesden?
(Unfortunately I forgot to make a note of the dates).
There are links between the Wilmots and the Sitwells.
I would be
interested to hear from descendents of the Wilmots of Chaddesden, particularly those of you who have
the name 'Sacheverel'. My email address is email@example.com (remove the spam-spoiler

I am looking for more information on William B. Wilmot from Illinois that

how many children they had because I am looking for a family of Wilmot's that had six children..four

French Wilmots
there are wilmots in france too!!
vive les wilmot!! (WILMOT Christian 14 February
I found Wilmots in the concentrated in a village called Aulnoy les Valenciennes since
around 1700, they came from Iwy another village between Valenciennes and Cambrai. So the members of
that branch are concentrated in this area. There also are Wilmots in other regions (north sea-side,
Bordeaux, french riviera ) they certainly have english roots.
I also searched the belgium telephone directory and traced all the Wilmots on a map. It is really
amazing to see the track the migration took in the centuries. They came from Maastrich (Nederland)
and followed the Sambre river down to french border, via Liège, Waterloo, Charleroi,
It is said in scholarly books that the name Wilmot comes from Wilhelm, which is scandinavian origin
and would be build from "will" and "helm" (helmet). ( Michel Wilmot, 19 October 2002)
grandfather John Wilmot and his wife settling in Philadelphia in the early 1930's (my best guess).
My great grandfather and his wife lived in Coleraine, Ireland until relocating with their children
to Pennsylvania. There are 4 offspring from that marriage, Anna Wilmot, Betty Wilmot, Jack Wilmot,
and Mary Wilmot. All are still alive and there is quite a few offspring from them. My grandfather
is Jack Wilmot and he married Myrtle Ottey and had four children, Barbara, John, Nancy, and Patty.
My mother is Barbara and she is no longer living, but she married Edward Allatt and had three sons,
Eddie, Ben (me), and Joel. My older brother is married and has 2 children.
Like I said there are tons of Wilmots all descendants of my great grandfather who plopped down in
the Philadelphia area. I am definitely curious about our roots and who may be familiar with any
other Wilmots out of Coleraine, Ireland.
My email address in firstname.lastname@example.com. I currently live in Harrisburg, PA and work in the IT
Consulting industry.
(Benjamin Allatt, 29 January 2003)
Hi Wilmots! Wow was I suprised to come across this site! I just for fun
typed my husbands name (London Wilmot) in the search bar and this popped up. We were rolling on the
floor laughing when we read some of the others gripeing about the *achemm* 'n' problem. We
thought we were alone, oh it is so nice to have a support group. It has become habit since I married
a Wilmot to simply say w-i-l-m-o-t sorry no 'n' thank you, everytime. Great site anyway I am going
to find out as much as I can about my familys history, I think I have found a new hobby and by the
looks of it there are more of us out there than I thought! Take care//Kelsey Wilmot, wife of
London, son of Ronald, brother of Marilyn, children of Herb and Helen Wilmot (and so it goes) and
continues with our son Jaake Wilmot!
Unfortunately, we never knew where the name "Wilmot" came from. We know all
about Grandfather and about his father, John Harvard Castle who was a Baptist minister. But
back further than that is unknown except that the family came from Ireland.
I would be interested to learn who the friend in Colorado was.
With best wishes and Happy New Year............Wilmot Vail Castle, Jr.

Read about the Crossroads "Crash" Course in the online edition of the Atlanta Journal and Constitution: http://www.ajc.com/lifestyle/crash-course-in-career-506362.html.
We have assembled a team of expert facilitators -- leaders in career ministry programs at area churches, all experienced both in business and in helping others learn effective ways to search for new career opportunities! Further down this page you will find a brief bio on each of our Crash Course Team members and a link to their LinkedIn page.
The course tuition covers our direct costs of offering this program (online assessments, printed materials, credit card processing, etc.) Our facilitators and team are volunteers and the facilities are provided by the sponsoring church (Dunwoody UMC for the August class).
Charles C (May 2010 class; landed new position 3 months after Crash course): "The Crash course was a game changer for me. First class instructors, current curriculum and outstanding practice – and all were wrapped in a faith-based approach."
Jan R (October 2010 class; employed 2 months after Crash course): "I had been employed for over 12 years, so I was more unprepared for a job search in the atmosphere of 2010 than I could have ever imagined. The "Crash Course" was very comprehensive and the class facilitators were friendly, supportive and skilled. I would recommend the course to anyone in a job search who is unfamiliar with the "rules of the game" in this difficult market."
Anne H (October 2010 class): "The Crossroads Crash Course was the kick-in-the-pants that I needed to invigorate my job search. The compressed time schedule meant that I HAD to do the self-work that was necessary to get the most out of the class. After every class I felt better about myself, my qualifications, skills and abilities. I am confident that my job is out there and that I now have the job-seeking talents to find it and get it. The Crash Course was the best thing that I could have done for my job search."
Carol A (March 2011 class; new job in June 2011): "The course made me re-evaluate what I was looking for in my next job. Re-writing my resume -- with the guidance provided by the teaching team -- helped me recall aspects of my work experience that I had not focused on previously. I think that was what made the difference. Re-writing my resume and then leveraging on-line resources and LinkedIn really paid off! Most of all, I really believed everything I was taught and took it to heart. I simply can't thank you enough!"
Charlie G (May 2011 class; landed a position in July 2011): "The crash course not only enables one to quickly update their resumes, references and "elevator speeches", you learn NEW skills and search strategies needed to navigate today's employment landscape. The volunteers are incredible teachers. This class is not just about 'getting a job' it is also an opportunity to take stock of one's skills and talents. It strengthened my faith and gave me peace. I hope that I can someday pay-forward the gifts and blessings that were given to to me."
This class is open to ALL RECENT COLLEGE GRADS. You qualify if you have attended college or graduate school in the past 5 years, have graduated recently or are currently a rising senior in college. This program is provided by Crossroads Career Network member churches and volunteers committed to service to others. There is an emphasis on Christian beliefs in our class, but regardless of your faith you will benefit from this class.

Gay group proclaims Scottish cardinal 'Bigot of the Year'
Catholic World News - November 02, 2012
Stonewall, a gay-rights organization in Scotland, has outraged Catholics by naming Cardinal Keith O'Brien as the Bigot of the Year.
A spokesman for the Church in Scotland said that the award by Stonewall "reveals the depth of their intolerance and their willingness to attack and demean those who don't share their views." The Church spokesman suggested that the Scottish government should cut off the public funding that the group currently receives.
Scotland's First Minister Alex Salmond said that public funding for Stonewall would continue, but allowed that the group was "clearly wrong to describe Scotland's cardinal in these terms, and in any case should reflect on whether pejorative titles like this do anything to enhance their cause."

Ryan Montbleau Band
Buy Music
Averaging over 200 gigs per year for the past few years, Ryan Montbleau Band has generated the kind of buzz that only surrounds a talented artist on the verge.
Emerging onto the national music scene from his home base of Boston, Ryan Montbleau has been described as something of a Martin Sexton by way of Van Morrison and Stevie Wonder. Yet Ryan Montbleau Band's music is difficult to pigeon-hole or neatly categorize. It is original yet familiar—a fresh sound full of firmly-rooted ingredients, including Americana, folk, blues, ragtime and '70's R&B and soul. Whereas the band's intriguing instrumentation and arrangements (not to mention top notch chops) help to create this unique sound, all is firmly anchored by Montbleau's water-tight lyrics and unmistakable voice.
Having begun his career playing Boston's coffee shops and folk venues as a solo artist with an infectious, percussive, fi ngerpicking guitar style, the charismatic Ryan Montbleau has evolved into the front man for the eclectic ensemble that bears his name. Make no mistake—this is a band in every sense of the word and is powered by the dynamics of Matt Giannaros (acoustic upright bass, electric bass, vocals), Laurence Scudder (viola), Jason Cohen (piano, organ, clavinet, Rhodes, Moog) and James Cohen (drums).
Their first collective album, One Fine Color, was released on Valentine's Day, 2006 and shows a cohesive vision rarely seen among young artists today. Several thousand copies have sold so far and the album has been raved about by music lovers of all types and, perhaps most notably, all ages (from senior citizens to infants and everyone in between). One Fine Color showcases the timeless songwriting, invigorating energy, and humble, honest sincerity that has allowed Ryan Montbleau Band to expand its passionate fan base one show, and one listen at a time.
This combination of art and personality creates that magical bond between performer and audience that Ryan Montbleau Band is fortunate to have in these cynical times. Sustaining the band through the years as they toured incessantly, virtually living on the road, they have already established a large, passionate following throughout the country.

I have been sewing all my life -- clothing and home deco. I started quilting four years ago. I made 4 quilts, but I am really drawn to the artistic side of quilting -- wall quilts, and applying artistic designs to other projects. I am also making purses.
